At first glance: the biggest feature of fruit swelling agent watermelon is its size. Now is not the peak season for watermelon ripening. Generally, watermelon weighs about 4 kg, but watermelon with fruit swelling agent can even reach more than 10 kg. Naturally mature watermelons have black and full seeds. However, if you apply pesticides to watermelons for a short time, the accumulated temperature will not reach, and the pulp will be red, but the seeds will still be dry and white.
Second taste: When buying fruit, you'd better taste it before buying it. Normal and mature melons have a sweetness of more than 8 degrees and a good taste. Watermelon with swelling agent is light in taste, not so sweet, not sandy and crisp to bite, and has no clear fragrance of watermelon.
Three storage: Normal watermelons can generally be stored for more than a week, while watermelons with swelling agents begin to rot and deteriorate after two or three days of storage. This is because hormones will still play a role in the ripening process, making watermelon intolerant to storage.
Experts remind that the fruits listed in advance are beautiful and big in color, and they are likely to have used hormones.
